One of my favorite, favorite, favoritest actors in the entire world is apparently wandering around like a weirdo and announcing his retirement from acting. I don't get it. I wish someone would help the poor guy. He's obviously in trouble. I've always been a Joaquin Phoenix fan. I loved Joaquin in Gladiator. I loved him back in the day when he was starring in To Die For with Nicole Kidman. But most of all I loved him in Quills. I've seen almost all of his movies including Space Camp. I even have an old GQ in my house somewhere with Joaquin on the cover. This makes me really sad. And a little pissed. Why can't some crappy actor I don't like retire instead? There are plenty of those.

Well I hope he gets his act together because Joaquin Phoenix is a fine actor and I don't want to wake up some day and see some crappy segment on E-TV about how he overdosed or something stupid like that.

i know...i have always adored him...remember him in that steve martin movie, he was so young! I think it was called Parents or Parenting...something...anyhow, he's a free spirit, which can be a dangerous thing...let's hope for the best..

Unlike you people i have always disliked Phoenix. In some cases I have hated the characters he has played and this is a sign of a great actor and I will not take that away from him. But he has always seemed like a smug self absorbed asshole to me in person. I have met him twice and both times he was a prick. If this is a hoax I really really really hate him. If it is a drug induced mental breakdown then I feel sorry for him.
